TAMIU Photography Students Host Exhibit May 2

An annual student photo art exhibit, Film Stills: Images That Tell Our Stories, opens Thursday, May 2 with a reception starting at 5 p.m. in the Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library Colonnade.

The exhibit’s theme focuses on displaying a connection between moving film and photography without compromising the narrative. Reception food and refreshments are graciously provided by Aramark.

Most of the photos are taken in Laredo, and are the captured imaginations of everyday scenes that often go overlooked. The passions portrayed in each image prompt one to not just look at the image, but to analyze the scene.

TAMIU student artists exhibiting are Neguif Angeles, Ignacio Banda, Miriam Castro, David De la Garza, Michael Flores, Alexis Garza, Miriam González, Rebecca Leza, Emmanuel López, Sandy Lugo, Cesar Sánchez, Ana Vazquez, Charlie Romo and Emily De Los Cobos.

The exhibit will be on display through Friday, May 17.
